[edit] Patrick Ogunsoto

The player is not notable and not famous. He has played only for weak teams. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by KRBN (talk • contribs) 09:03, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

• Weak keep as he's played for at least two teams in the top leagues of their respective nations (Cyprus and Belgium, which aren't exactly the Premier League but are top national leagues nonetheless). BigHaz 09:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep First team player for K.V.C. Westerlo who are playing in the top league in Belgium (Jupiler_League). Catchpole 09:12, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep for the same reason than Catchpole. Julien Tuerlinckx 12:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, nom is not totally wrong but playing for K.V.C. Westerlo cuts it. Punkmorten 12:29, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep unsigned nomination. Marcus22 15:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, notable footballer, meets WP:BIO criteria. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 16:25, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, I doubt if it meets WP:BIO criteria. Articles about first team squad members who have not made a first team appearance may also be appropriate, but only if the individual is at a club of sufficient stature that most members of its squad are worthy of articles. Was he playing usually with the team or he was reserve. And something else to keep in mind; The phrase on WP:BIO about notability of sportspeople may soon change. See Wikipedia:Notability (athletes) so phrase about "Sportspeople/athletes who have played in a fully professional league" will be expanded and more restricted. So even if you achieve to keep this page, soon will be again under deletion. User:KRBN 21:28, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

Comment if he's the top scorer for the team (as shown a couple of posts below me), then he's patently made a first team appearance. Further, if the criteria for sport notability change, then you're more than welcome to put this guy back up for deletion. There's no point in deleting him pre-emptively, particularly when there's no guarantee that that policy will change. BigHaz 22:04, 3 September 2006 (UTC)

• Keep Plays for a top-division side, and is currently their top-scorer [1]. Oldelpaso 21:47, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, meets basic criteria for sportsplayers, not a speedy candidate at this point. --badlydrawnjeff talk 15:12, 4 September 2006 (UTC)
